Bill Passed That Could Fund GR Amphitheater and Soccer Stadium

The state Senate has passed a bill that could help pay for an amphitheater and soccer stadium in Grand Rapids.

Yesterday, the Michigan Senate passed the House Bill 5048. The bill would allow Grand Rapids to impose a 2% hotel tax and Kent County to impose an 8% hotel tax. Voters would then need to approve those taxes.

Whenever someone is visiting from outside of the town or region, they will pay a per night, per room tax.

The Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce said the hotel tax would be transformative for the city, helping to fund an amphitheater, soccer stadium and more.
